For non-creepy reasons I need to drop a message through the letterbox of someone in Hove (Old Shoreham Road). Is there anyone on here who would be dropping by in the next day on foot and be able to deliver a very brief message with my contact details on it so that they can give me a call? They have no electronic footprint so I think this is the only option. TIA.

Can’t help, but you could get a prime delivery with a custom note attached if that’s timely enough

That is a brilliant idea. No idea why I hadn't considered it!

I'm invested. What item did you choose from Amazon ? Was it something of a PH nature such as a packet of custard, some JDM stickers for an MX-5, or a pamphlet describing the difference between understeer and oversteer ?

Isn't it "Hove, actually"?

Perhaps one for the Brighton residents ... .hehe

Nice to see there is an audience! It was a box of chocolates. Maybe it should have been a PH-like parrot as we're trying amicably to resolve a communications issue between two parties to an agreement where one party only has a name and address for the other party (and no phone/email). I'll leave it there for now.

Once upon a time suggesting looking them up in the phone book would suffice, but how many still have a land line?

Taxi was the answer last time I wanted some flowers dropping off at the last minute. Doubt they would get out these days and just sit there beeping smile

Was it you that sent the Thankyou message via Amazon on a packet of scented anal beads?
